The 6th Tanjazz festival raised curtains, in Tangier Tuesday, in a fiesta offered by "Louis Martinez quintet" and "Jeff Zima trio."

Created in 1957, the "Louis Martinez quintet" claims the Lecuona Cuban Boys as major influences as well as the legendary Chano Pozo.
The show went on with "Jeff Zima trio." In a perfect miscegenation between various rhythms and sounds, Jeff Zima captivated the jazz lovers who filled the Mendoubia wonderful site.
He rendered the Blues mingled with Jazz and Mambo with a devouring passion in a spiritual invitation to "la fiesta."
